Lesson Plan TP 5 Elif Özsaraçoğlu
C1 level


In this lesson I will use PPP approach to teach causative form. First we will talk about some famous people and how comfortably they live because they don't have to do the daily things that normal people don't like doing. This way I will introduce them the context and later I will present them the target language. After a controlled practice, finally they will work in pairs and discuss the things that they would like to have done for them and they will find opportunity to develop their productive skills in a speaking for accuracy activity.

Main Aims

  • To provide clarification of Causatives in the context of Power & Money

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide accuracy speaking practice in a conversation in the context of having something done



Show a picture of Acun Ilıcalı and elicit the idea that this man has lots of power. Ask the students to suggest what kind of life he leads, what kind of car he drives where he buys his clothes.


Give the HO and ask them to look at the picture. Ask the Ss to work in pairs and read the sentences below the picture for 1 minute the ask them how they would describe a person like this and whether they know anyone like this. Elicit "tycoon". )Very successful and rich businessman) Concept check: Do tycoons have a lot of money? Drill, write.

Highlighting (4-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Elicit a sentence with causative structure e.g "Demet Akalın gets her hair done every morning". Concept check: Does she do it herself? Does someone do it for her?" Drill the sentence changing the verb. "...gets her car washed, gets her nails done, gets her meal cooked..." Write one of the sentences on the board and highlight the form. This is the presentation stage Have /get sth + past participle.


Elicit another sentence. Mime that your nails are in a bad shape. "I have a lot of money and time, do I have to do it myself? No. I "get my manicure done. " Also highlight that they can also use "have+sth+past participle" My hair is very long and I need it to be shorter. Do I cut it myself? No I have my hair cut. Drill-Write. Ask them how often they have their hair cut.


Ex. 2. Ask them to change the sentences so they have the same meaning. Demonstrate: Someone does my manicure. I have my manicure done. They will do the exercises in pairs (4 min) Check with their partner. Have 2 students write 2 answers on the board. Answer keys are under their chairs!


Ask students to get up and discuss in pairs. Which of the things they read in the controlled practice and what other things they would like to have done for them. Ask them why these things would make them happy.
